That is a bit on the high side.  Get a can of compressed air and clean out your fan.  Turn the machine off and use the can of air in the reverse direction of the normal air flow.  Dust/lint/hair build up on the inside of the heatsink near the fan blades.  Buy and use a notebook cooling pad. Don't block the intake or exhaust of the fan.  If that doesn't do it, and the machine isn't under warrantee, you will have to have someone put better thermal paste on your cpu and video chip.

  • HP Pavilion DV7-6163us Entertainm​ent PC: 2wsx keys are messed up and don't work most of the time.

    I have a HP dv7-6163us Entertainment PC. Here are the specs= http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​dlc=en&docname=c02863099&lc=en&product=5141405
    Windows 7 Home Premium, Intel Core i7
    Hello! I have a problem that just started yesterday where my 2wsx keys have started to not respond at all some times. They sometimes don't respond, and though they work sometimes, it can be annoying while I am playing a game or typing a document. Interestingly, if I try to push the "wsx" keys all at once while they aren't working, they begin to work again. But only for a short amount of time.
    I have some guesses at why this is happening:
    Motherboard issue, seems the keys are in a row maybe meaning that the wires on the motherboard are all connected.
    Keys are broke. Doubt it though as they seem to look fine.
    Maybe a overheat on the motherboard? I don't know, but the fan is right below these keys.
    Thanks! If link doesn't work I am reposting the link.

    Hi,
    You are very welcome. Yes, I wanted you to try the steps in the section which says "Keyboard is not working". I wanted you to try setting BIOS to defaults and uninstalling the Keyboard driver and restarting the Notebook to re-install them automatically. If you have already tried them let's go ahead and perform a BIOS Update on the Notebook.
    For doing that I would like to know whether the Windows 7 OS on your Notebook is 32 bit or 64 Bit.
    I am waiting to hear back from you.

  • How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices?  Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

    Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

  • I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

    Hmmm...I'm using 1Password Version 3.8.20 (build 31499) with a fresh install (scrape and pave) of Mt. Lion on my iMac and it's working fine.
    I use Dropbox to sync 1Password so for my fresh install I simply downloaded 1Password from Agilbits website and installed it.
    Have you tried reinstalling 1Password?  Depending on how you purchased it, download it from their website or from the Mac App store to reinstall/replace it.  (IIRC v3.8.x comes directly from Agilbits and v3.9 from the Mac App store.)  You shouldn't have to uninstall it, the new download should overwrite the existing copy.
    As with anything else, be sure to run a  backup first!

  • I purchased an iMac 24" with os 10.5.8(iMac model 6.1).  How high up the OS chain can I go with this model?

    I am trying to find out how high up the OS X chain I can take this unit.  I have not been able to find anything solid online.  I know I can't go as high as Mountain Lion(this unit is a late 2006 model 6.1, with core2duo processor).  Thanks for any help.

    First you need to research all the problems people are having with it higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

    It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

  • Dashcode is not working in Mountain Lion. I tried updating to Xcode 4.4 and it still did not work . . .

    Dashcode is not working in Mountain Lion. I tried updating to Xcode 4.4 and it still did not work . . .
    I use dashcode for most of my coding needs, so it is very important to me!

    I have the same problem too. dashcode shows up in the finder but its just a question mark (see screenshot). Anyone found a way to address this?

  • I just updated my iPad 3 to ios 7.02 and can no longer sync with iTunes on my computer running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion, which may cause any number of apps on my computer to no longer work. Although I may consider purchasing a new laptop

    I just updated my iPad to IOS 7.02 and unfortunately can no longer sync with my MacBook running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion as this may cause any number of apps on my Macbook not to work at all or malfunction. Also my MacBook is 5 years old, and I was thinking about purchasing a new computer. I would like to decide when rather than be forced though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a work around? At the moment I do not subscribe to the cloud, and it looks like that is the only way I can back up my iPad now.

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it.

    My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it. Internet recovery asks for his Apple ID and password. He has no idea. I have an Apple ID but have never bought anything through the iTunes store so it won't accept my Apple ID. I don't know if his computer is under warranty. He does not remember if he has Applecare. I tried reinstalling Leopard -- the computer originally came with Leopard -- but the computer screen goes grey and a message comes up saying I need to restart. He wants to give this computer to me since it's useless to him. What do I do to get a system on it again?

    You will need to reformat the hard drive to go back to Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    Does he have a Snow Leopard Disk? He should, as there is no way to go from Leopard to Mountain Lion without it. If you can find the Snow Leopard Disk, I'd at least start with that.
    You will need to use Disk Utility in the installer to format the hard drive and get rid of the recovery partition.
    Boot from the installer disk by holding down the C key on restart. When it boots, Open Disk Utility (Utilities menu, at least in Snow Leopard).
    Select the Hard drive and then click the Partition tab.
    Select 1 Partition from the partition menu.
    Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format.
    Name the drive (Macintosh HD is the standard).
    Click Apply to partition the drive.
    When it is done, quit Disk Utility and install the OS.

  • After loading Lion 10.7 I'm no longer able to use Quicken 07. Any work around?

    After loading Lion 10.7 to my Desk Top, I'm no longer able to use my Quicken 07. Is there a work around? All my financial records are in Quicken 07 or do I need to remove Lion 10.7 from my computer

    Quicken is a PPC application. They will not work in Lion because Lion no longer supports Rosetta emulation.
    1. You can downgrade to Snow Leopard.
    2. You can switch to Quicken Essentials.
    3. You can purchase a different application that provides similar services for you. Examples are MoneyDance or MYOB.
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

    thank you

    That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
    Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
    If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.

  • How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help??

    How do I restore photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto. I erased all my events in iPhoto by mistake so need to sync them phone upstream to lions 10.7....not even apple support could help?? I plug my phone into iPhoto and it sees the camera roll but none of my event so I can move them back into iPhoto

    Your photos are gone.  When you synch your phone with iPhoto, the actual picture file does not synch, rather is is a very small thumbnail file suitable for viewing on the phone, but of such small resolution that it's useless for anything other than viewing on the phone.  In any case, Apple makes no way for you to retrieve these thumbnail file.
    If you deleted photos from iPhoto, your only hope is if you have Time Machine or another backup that might have had those photos.  Are they perhaps still in the "Trash" within the iPhoto app?
